bought only to fill orders, but now all 

 the good stores carry orchids in stock, 

 and it is nothing unusual to sell a re- 

 tailer $50 worth merely to put in his 

 show case. Just now Dendrobium for- 

 mosum is selling well because of the 

 demand for white orchids for wedding 

 bunches. 



Y.. C. Amling celebrated his forty-sec- 

 ond birthday anniversary October 10. 



The George Wittbold Co. has recently 

 put into service a new automobile de- 

 livery car, with a capacity for carrying 

 1,500 pounds. 



E. S. Thompson, of Benton Harbor, is 

 sending Vaughan & Sperry large con- 

 signments of dahlias. He puts them up 

 five dozen blooms in a pasteboard box, 

 finding that they reach the market in a 

 much better condition than when he 

 packed several hundred in a large wood 

 box. 



Andrew Miller is now with John 

 Mangel, and it is said the arrangement 

 is intended to be permanent. 



•John Kruchten reports the arrival of 

 the first of his season's crop of bou- 

 vardia October 11. 



W. E. Lynch, of E. H. Hunt's, was 

 absent from his accustomed place 

 through illness last week. 



Bassett & Washburn report cutting 

 their first pink chrysanthemums Octo- 

 ber 8. The variety was Rosiere, and it 

 was exactlv one week earlier than in 

 1909. 



E. Farley, who was formerly with C. 

 W. McKellar, but who has spent the 

 summer at his old home at Indianap- 

 olis, is now with Percy Jones. 



Quite a number of wholesalers have 

 this week received notices that the 



Colorado Springs Floral Co. has made 

 an assignment for their benefit to F. E. 

 Sauerwald. Mr. Hayden, the proprietor, 

 had many personal friends here. 



A. L. Randall has returned from his 

 Michigan farm, where he spends his 

 summers fruit growing. 



John Welter, son of N. K. Welter, of 



raVERY now and then a weU- 

 i^S pleased reader speaks the word 

 which \i the means of bringing a 

 new advertiser to

Such friendly assistance is thoroughly 

 appreciated. 



Give us the name of anyone from 

 whom you are buying, not an adver- 

 tiser. We especially wish to interest 

 those selling articles of florist's use 

 not at present advertised. 



FLORISTS' PUBLISHING CO. 

 530-60 Caxton Bldg. Chicago 



Evanston, when seen at Kyle & Foer- 

 ster's one day this week, said their 

 ])lace is in better shape than they ever 

 before have had it, and that they look 

 forward to an exceptionally successful 



season. Carnations, mums and bulbous 

 stock are the crops grown. 



Gus Alles, at the store of Wietor 

 Bros., says he thinks that where grow- 

 ers are failing to realize as much money 

 for mums as last year it is because of 

 deterioration in quality; the Wietor 

 records show they are averaging as 

 good prices as ever, he says. 



The local friends of E. Haentze, of 

 Fond du Lac, Wis., have read with in- 

 terest the press dispatches from Phila- 

 delphia regarding the venerable gentle- 

 man's seeking a wife. 



B. Eldridge, of Belvidere, who con- 

 signs to local commission houses, but 

 whose principal business is the manu- 

 facture of sewing machines, lost his 

 son by death October 8. 



Among the week's visitors have been 

 B. Eschner, of M. Rice & Co., Philadel- 

 phia; N. J. Burt, of Burlington, la., 

 visiting a daughter who resides here; 

 H. A. Philpott, Winnipeg, who came 

 down for the meeting of the Florists' 

 Club and returned home next day.
